Circular RNA Cbl proto-oncogene B (circCBLB) inhibits proliferation, promotes apoptosis, and increases anti-inflammatory cytokine levels of fibroblast-like synoviocytes in rheumatoid arthritis

Objective To explore the regulatory axis of circular RNA Cbl proto-oncogene B (circCBLB)/miR-486-5p on the proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammatory cytokines of fibroblast-like synoviocytes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA-FLS). Methods Human RA-FLS were stimulated with 100 μL of 10 ng/mL of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) to establish the model. The binding relationship of circCBLB/miR-486-5p was validated by a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. pcDNA3.1/siRNA-circCBLB, negative control (pcDNA3.1-NC/si-NC), and miR-486-5p-mimics were created and transfected into RA-FLS, respectively. The experiment was divided into seven groups: control, TNF-α-treated RA-FLS, pcDNA3.1-circCBLB, pcDNA3.1-NC, si-circCBLB, si-NC, and pcDNA3.1-circCBLB combined with miR-486-5p-mimics. Cell viability was assessed by a CCK-8 assay; cell cycle and apoptosis by flow cytometry; colony formation ability by a colony formation assay; and the expression levels of circCBLB and miR-486-5p by real-time quantitative PCR. The levels of interleukin 4 (IL-4), IL-10, IL-6 and TNF-α were measured by ELISA. Results The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay showed that circCBLB bound to the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of miR-486-5p. Compared with the model group at the same time point, the cell viability of the overexpression group was lower, while that of the interference group was higher. Compared with the model group, the overexpression group had a higher apoptosis rate, a higher proportion in S and G2 phases, a lower colony formation rate, a lower miR-486-5p expression level, higher IL-4 and IL-10 levels, and lower IL-6 and TNF-α levels. The interference group had a lower apoptosis rate, a lower proportion in S and G2 phases, a higher colony formation rate, a higher miR-486-5p expression level, and a higher TNF-α level. The pcDNA3.1-circCBLB combined with miR-486-5p-mimics group reversed the effects of circCBLB on cell viability, apoptosis rate, cell cycle, colony formation ability, antiinflammatory cytokines, and proinflammatory cytokines. Conclusion circCBLB inhibits the viability of RA-FLS, increases apoptosis rate, prolongs the cell cycle, reduces colony formation ability, increases antiinflammatory cytokines, and decreases proinflammatory cytokines. In contrast, miR-486-5p has opposite regulatory effects on circCBLB and can partially reverse and offset the effects of circCBLB.
